About this city

Also known as: The Lake Village

Lakeville is an upscale, historic village located within the rural town of Salisbury in the scenic northwestern corner of Litchfield County, Connecticut. Situated around the pristine, deep blue waters of Lake Wononscopomuc, the state's deepest natural lake, Lakeville offers an incredibly serene, high-end country resort lifestyle. Historically originating in the 18th century as a prominent center for iron ore ironworks and mining that supplied early American military cannon production, it later transitioned into a peaceful residential enclave. It is widely renowned as the proud home of the prestigious Hotchkiss School and the historic Lime Rock Park racing track.
